Also check out `git add --patch`'s cousins over in `git checkout` and `git reset`. I probably use reset --patch more than add, as I'll usually have a file full of relevant changes with only 1 hunk i want to 'unstage', so I'll stage the whole file and unstage the irrelevant hunk. I use `git checkout --patch` mostly when splitting a big commit into smaller commits, retroactively. I start an interactive rebase, chuck 'break' before the big commit, then I start pulling the changes 'forward' from the big commit into the working directory with `git checkout --patch big-commit-hash */path.ext`. Sometimes this works out easier than popping a commit off and re-committing everything seperately, particularly if I already have a commit with a detailed message.
